Merge branch 'for-3.19' of git://linux-nfs.org/~bfields/linux

2014-12-16T23:25:31+00:00

Pull nfsd updates from Bruce Fields:
 "A comparatively quieter cycle for nfsd this time, but still with two
  larger changes:

   - RPC server scalability improvements from Jeff Layton (using RCU
     instead of a spinlock to find idle threads).

   - server-side NFSv4.2 ALLOCATE/DEALLOCATE support from Anna
     Schumaker, enabling fallocate on new clients"

fallocate: create FAN_MODIFY and IN_MODIFY events

2014-12-13T20:42:53+00:00

The fanotify and the inotify API can be used to monitor changes of the
file system.  System call fallocate() modifies files.  Hence it should
trigger the corresponding fanotify (FAN_MODIFY) and inotify (IN_MODIFY)
events.  The most interesting case is FALLOC_FL_COLLAPSE_RANGE because
this value allows to create arbitrary file content from random data.

This patch adds the missing call to fsnotify_modify().

The FAN_MODIFY and IN_MODIFY event will be created when fallocate()
succeeds.  It will even be created if the file length remains unchanged,
e.g.  when calling fanotify with flag FALLOC_FL_KEEP_SIZE.

This logic was primarily chosen to keep the coding simple.

It resembles the logic of the write() system call.

When we call write() we always create a FAN_MODIFY event, even in the case
of overwriting with identical data.

Events FAN_MODIFY and IN_MODIFY do not provide any guarantee that data was
actually changed.

Furthermore even if if the filesize remains unchanged, fallocate() may
influence whether a subsequent write() will succeed and hence the
fallocate() call may be considered a modification.

The fallocate(2) man page teaches: After a successful call, subsequent
writes into the range specified by offset and len are guaranteed not to
fail because of lack of disk space.

So calling fallocate(fd, FALLOC_FL_KEEP_SIZE, offset, len) may result in
different outcomes of a subsequent write depending on the values of offset
and len.

new helper: audit_file()

2014-11-19T18:01:26+00:00

... for situations when we don't have any candidate in pathnames - basically,
in descriptor-based syscalls.

merge nfs bugfixes into nfsd for-3.19 branch

2014-11-19T17:06:30+00:00

In addition to nfsd bugfixes, there are some fixes in -rc5 for client
bugs that can interfere with my testing.

VFS: Rename do_fallocate() to vfs_fallocate()

2014-11-07T21:17:44+00:00

This function needs to be exported so it can be used by the NFSD module
when responding to the new ALLOCATE and DEALLOCATE operations in NFS
v4.2.  Christoph Hellwig suggested renaming the function to stay
consistent with how other vfs functions are named.

vfs: add i_op->dentry_open()

2014-10-23T22:14:35+00:00

Add a new inode operation i_op->dentry_open().  This is for stacked filesystems
that want to return a struct file from a different filesystem.

new methods: ->read_iter() and ->write_iter()

2014-05-06T21:36:00+00:00

Beginning to introduce those.  Just the callers for now, and it's
clumsier than it'll eventually become; once we finish converting
aio_read and aio_write instances, the things will get nicer.

For now, these guys are in parallel to ->aio_read() and ->aio_write();
they take iocb and iov_iter, with everything in iov_iter already
validated.  File offset is passed in iocb->ki_pos, iov/nr_segs -
in iov_iter.

Main concerns in that series are stack footprint and ability to
split the damn thing cleanly.

replace checking for ->read/->aio_read presence with check in ->f_mode

2014-05-06T21:32:55+00:00

Since we are about to introduce new methods (read_iter/write_iter), the
tests in a bunch of places would have to grow inconveniently.  Check
once (at open() time) and store results in ->f_mode as FMODE_CAN_READ
and FMODE_CAN_WRITE resp.  It might end up being a temporary measure -
once everything switches from ->aio_{read,write} to ->{read,write}_iter
it might make sense to return to open-coded checks.  We'll see...

 "These are regression and bug fixes for ext4.

  We had a number of new features in ext4 during this merge window

  there were many more regression and bug fixes this time around.  It
  didn't help that xfstests hadn't been fully updated to fully stress
  test COLLAPSE_RANGE until after -rc1"
